The comment was directed to the tomatoes, not the state or the agriculture. That's an entirely different rant <LOL>
I could see, even on my crummy old TV, and without even wearing my new prescription glasses, the terrible quality of the strawberries that were used.
My point is that if you're producing a show like "Tyler's Ultimate," then the ingredients should be first class. Too many people don't even know what a truly fresh, ripe strawberry tastes like these days, and for Mr. Florence to be opening a package of obviously poor quality berries and exclaiming how good they are is, IMO, doing a disservice to his viewers. No wonder people add sugar to their fruit - the effin' fruit has no flavor.
And, since this is an Alton Brown thread, AB recently did a show about strawberries, and he took the time to show his viewers how to recognize a good, fresh, flavorful berry from the insipd garbage found in most markets and purchased and eaten with acceptance by a populace that has no idea what they're missing.
There, I feel better now
Oh, BTW, one small point - I'm not a "she" as you mentioned in another post. I'm a big, tough guy transplanted from New Yawk City .... <LOL>
